Finally got my free race kit today for the February 12 event. Thanks to Jaymie a.k.a The Bull Runner!

10k Race Kit

The 10k category will run 9.5km, go up and down the 20 floors of Stamford Executive Residences in McKinley Hill, Taguig City and then another 500 meters to the finish line.

Also, a limited edition 2012 Vertical Run Shirt will be given out after the race as a finisher shirt.

There is an on going promo (Buy 1, Take 1) for any category.

Hope I'll survive the Condura run this weekend so I can experience the vertical marathon! :)
